Grooming My Eyebrows

Happy Monday everyone!

Few of people e-mailed me asking about how I groom my eyebrows so here I am! They are not perfect by any means, but I like their shape and the way they look with the rest of my face :) (Believe me, I was one of those 13 year-olds who plucked the crap out of her brows, so I've come a looooong way! :))

Tools I use...

I have...

• an eyebrow comb (doesn't have to be an expensive one, mine is from Ulta)
• pair of scissors
• eyebrow razor/trimmer
• tweezers (mine is from Revlon, I had it for years, they're the best I've ever owned) 
• Anastasia Brow Duality highlighter pencil and Anastasia Brow Gel (these are optional, I do use the brow gel everyday)
• flat (brow) brush
• MAC Print eyeshadow which I use to fill in my brows (of course that's because my brows are black, you should choose a shade based on your hair color)

I use the trimmer because I feel that for the brows to look fresh and clean, the area surrounding the brows should be free of hair or have minimal fuzz. My upper eyebrow area can be sensitive if I do use tweezers there. I find these trimmers to do the job without any pain or irritation. These trimmers do a fantastic job in my opinion! They are called "Tinkle" I bought them from Amazon but I'm sure you can find them at dollar/discount stores. Alternatively you can use...

I found these at my local market and they are by Ardell which is way more widely available in markets, drugstores etc. This pack had the razor (on left, to trim down the eyebrow - alternative to scissors) and 3 trimmers ( to remove fuzz/above or below brows, I'm just showing one of them) I believe it was around $4.

1. Start with bushy, desperately needing to be plucked eyebrows.

2. With the brow comb, comb the hairs on the inner part of your face upwards and trim with scissors. (I forgot to take a photo of scissors scene oops!)

3. Clean up the upper eyebrow area with trimmer, working your way down towards the eyebrow.

4. It should look something like this.

5. Using tweezers, pluck away any unwanted hair below brows.

6. Pick up your fill color with your flat brush, I'm using Print by MAC.

7. Fill in the sparse areas that need help, making sure you fill in lightly on inner part and increasing intensity as you're moving towards the end of the brows.

8. Filled in eyebrow.

9. Coat/brush brows with clear brow gel working your way out towards to end of brows.

10. Apply highlighter right below your brows and blend.

11. Highlighted brows.

12. Finished.

I hope this post was helpful for those of you who asked me about my brows! If you have any more questions, let me know! :))

Hope you all have a lovely week! ♥
